Looking good, it's not a bad kit at all. I built one last year. Check the rear bumper, driver's side under the tailights. Mine had a dip in it, and I've seen others with the same.

'83 kawasaki kz440. Or what's left of one. This is what it started as.

My dog Harper (110 pounds) brought out one of her stuffed animals into the yard. My wife tried to take it from her, yeah,not happening. I haven't laughed like that in a while. Good dog.

Looks sharp. Great color combination.👍👍

Nice work Michelle 👍👍.

I'M looking for some advice with this. Two of the headlight bezels on my kit have "chips" where they have come off the sprue. no, I didn't rip them off the tree, old kit, rough handling over the years I suppose🤷. Anyway, I'm not sure putty will do the trick, very small spot,and thin. And being a different material, it would probably ghost through the molotow. I'm kinda thinking of gluing a small piece of styrene and reshaping. Am I thinking in the right direction here?

I've always loved the style of these cars, and especially the nascar aero version. Steve Magnante just did a video on the Johan kits of them. Watched that last night.

Nicely done. Great job on the weathering.

Great looking early a body mopar.👍👍

You bring up a good point. The receptionist has messed up multiple appointments for both my wife and I, main reason why we changed who we go to. We plan on contacting our insurance Monday,and I'll be sure to mention this. I had paid almost 400 out of pocket to replace just lenses, and they put the same through insurance as an entire new pair of glasses.

Me too. Something about European style and the torque thrust wheels just works, and it's not in perfect condition either. Equal parts classy and trashy.

Thanks. It wasn't all that difficult to do, getting the wheels to fit properly wasn't a chore either,I just hope the paint and chrome work on them work out.

As a metal worker, the hours spent at a bead roller for that interior must be astronomical. Absolutely beautiful craftsmanship. Awesome Willy's as well. And h#$k yeah show your car off, that's part of why we have them. I enjoy it when someone takes an interest in my motorcycle, and laugh when it's mistaken for something it's not.

On my way home saw a two Ranchero's, one of the big 70's style and a first generation along with a 70 duster drag car out for sale. Wasn't able to get any picks of those, managed to get one of another ford, she was looking rough, just like the neighborhood.

It had just a touch of patina, most likely it's a real honest survivor type car.

Awesome how you're putting your own twist on the Dukes of Hazzard, great job with this one. Nice touch with the scenery on your turntable.👍👍

Here's how I lowered it. For the rear i removed the kit trailing arms and made a set of tubular arms,and hollowed out the pockets to the same depth,.080 rod for the arms. I also lowered the mounts for the rear assembly about the same, after drilling the locating hole deeper. I stopped when this part of the rear differential touched the chassis On the front, i originally goofed up just trying to "channel" the front assembly into the frame, so I moved the spindle mount up towards the upper control arm. Had I not made that mistake, it would probably be lower in the front, but I'm not looking for a "slammed" look. The final part was to remove about .040 from the bottom of the firewall and inner fender, that tucked the chassis up underneath so the frame isn't showing from the side.

Thanks to both of you. Gonna try and make this one stand out

Thanks to both of you,gonna try and make this one stand out. I'll post some pictures on how I lowered it. It was fairly straightforward. No real butchering of styrene.

I'm seriously 100% on the same page as you.

I seem to be spotting them everywhere

My old eye doctor billed my insurance even though I paid out of pocket, using up my benefits for the year. I now get to argue with them about that mess. Seriously, is it really that difficult to do your job correctly.

It seems to me it depends on what geographic region they were built in and what was on hand at the plant at that time. I've read that on multiple forums.

Sweet looking pickup i saw this morning, sounded good ,too
